Chapter 322: Money and Fame

Although the other party should have not come, it should have come, but it should not have come, which was an accident. But this year's banquet is still a banquet of unity, a banquet of victory, a banquet of harmony, and a banquet of success.

Elites from Zhejiang Province gathered together, the seniors were friendly, the backwards were respectful, the spring breeze was refreshing, the wine was happy, talking about the present, and imagining the future

is still the same sentence, as the owner's family, Fang Yingwu naturally has the bearing of the master, and this is not an occasion for small actions in private. So it was impossible for him to embarrass Xie Qian at the banquet he had gathered, otherwise it would only mess up the atmosphere and make others look down on him.

Of course, Xie Qian would not be stupid enough to go to the gathering of fellow villagers to provoke the Fang family's father and son, and the dignity that should be maintained must be maintained.

Overall, Fang Yingwu's goal of spending money to buy reputation has been achieved, and not everyone has the ability to hold such a high-quality large-scale gathering.

Being able to do it is in itself a testament to influence, and having influence is one of the ways to stand out from hundreds of peers.

However, there was also a little distress, and after the song ended, a very real problem appeared in front of Fang Yingwu, that is, this luxurious banquet of fifty or sixty people cost a huge sum of about one hundred taels.

Money is not everything, no money is absolutely impossible, Fang Yingwu couldn't help but sigh. I have to say that it is indeed easier to make a name for yourself with money.

Fang Qingzhi is not involved in mundane affairs and will not worry about these things, so the matter of repaying the debt still falls on his son Fang Yingwu.

Where did you find a hundred taels of silver? This is a very serious question, and Fang Yingwu, who slapped his swollen face and became fat, thought hard about it. With the Fang family's current reputation, borrowing money is not a problem. It's not a problem to borrow a hundred taels, the key is who to borrow. How to borrow.

At this moment, suddenly someone from the family came to report. Mr. Yao Qian Yao from Zhongyi Bookstore came to visit.

Could it be that Mr. Yao came to give the eight shares of the anthology again? Fang Yingwu felt like he was sleepy and met a pillow, and hurriedly invited Mr. Yao in.

After the guests and hosts sat down and served tea, Fang Yingwu asked, "Mr. Yao is here today, why did you come?" ”

Yao Qian first said hello: "Of course, congratulations to Fang Gongzi for coming to High School!" ”

Fang Yingwu preferred to send money, and said with a smile: "If you don't have anything to do, you merchants also say that you can't afford to be early, why should you be so polite between you and me!" ”

Mr. Yao also smiled, "After a few years of work. Now the anthology of the book shop can be sold to most provinces, and now that the examination is completed, a new collection of current literature can be produced, you and I have to make persistent efforts, we must be ahead of others. So this matter of copying the test paper still has to bother Fang Gongzi, how about comparing it with the last time? ”

Last time, Zhongyi Bookstore was able to publish an anthology of eight strands, but Fang Yingwu entrusted Liu Mian's favor to copy one copy of two or three hundred Chinese-style test papers from the treasury of the Ministry of Rites. Of course, this time it is not a problem, and the new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhou Hongmo, also played the role of Fang Yingwu's matchmaker.

It's all a trickle of money. In this way, Fang Yingwu agreed to come down. For a moment, Fang Yingwu thought that he was also a Huiyuan now, and it was not impossible to raise the price, but he thought about it again. It's too tasteless to talk about money in this capacity, so I still default to the past sharing ratio.

Yao Qian asked again: "There is an anthology of articles, but someone still needs to comment on it." In this way, they complement each other and make up a book. Does Fang Gongzi intend to be a reviewer? ”

Fang Yingwu was stunned, from a business point of view. It's a nice gimmick that definitely boosts sales. But he flatly refused: "This is not good, I am on the same list as you, how can I casually comment on the quality of other people's articles?" ”

"Fang Gongzi is modest, if he doesn't want to, he will do it. However, the frontispiece of this anthology still has to add your "Song of Tomorrow", many people didn't notice the author at the beginning, and now many people look back and suddenly find that the author of this poem is actually a new branch Huiyuan, and all of a sudden it has been praised by everyone, and I think it is just around the corner to spread all over the world. ”

Fang Yingwu smiled and said nothing, wasn't it just with this purpose of fame in the first place? Such inspirational, main theme, and catchy poems, and now with the legendary color of Huiyuan, it is strange that it is not popular, but I am afraid that many fathers who want their son Jackie Chan will copy it and hang it in their son's study?

This is the fame in the subtle way, imagine that a few years later, when a younger generation visits him, he politely says: "Senior Fang, the later generation was inspired by your song of tomorrow to grow up"

Yao Qian suddenly continued to ask, "But is Fang Gongzi interested in compiling his own articles into a collection and publishing them for sale?" After all, you are a new science and technology leader, and there should be many motivated scholars who are willing to polish your articles. ”

Fang Yingwu sweated profusely, waved his hand and said, "I don't want to be famous." He really lacks confidence in his eight-strand essays, and occasionally one can be called quaint, but if he reads too much, it will inevitably make people feel poor and monotonous.

Mr. Yao originally thought that there was no problem with this proposal, but he was surprised that Fang Yingwu refused. In his heart, Fang Yingwu still likes to pursue fame, and collecting books can be described as fame and money, why does Fang Yingwu seem to be avoided?

After talking about it, but still didn't talk about money, Fang Yingwu took the initiative to probe: "Does Mr. Yao have anything else?" ”

Yao Qianqi said: "Could it be that Gongzi Fang is not free and can't be entertained?" Fang Yingwu hurriedly denied, "I don't mean that!" ”

Mr. Yao patted his head, "I really forgot something!" It is very convenient for the capital to do business with Liaodong, and the fur medicinal materials and ginseng over there are all best-selling goods in the Central Plains. After thinking about it, I would like to try my hand at trading in Tohoku again in the future. ”

Fang Yingwu didn't interject, he knew that there was something to say later. Sure enough, I heard Yao Qian say again: "The current governor of Liaodong is surnamed Xu Mingguan, and I heard that he is from Chun'an." I don't know if Fang Gongzi knows him? ”

Fang Yingwu smiled bitterly, "Dare to love you, a shrewd person, really did not go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and it turned out that he had the idea here." Do you really want to ask me for the favor of Governor Xu? ”

Yao Qian also smiled with him, "With your friendship with me, it is natural to ask you for help." In any case, Governor Xu is also your county, so he won't sell your Fang family's face? ”

"When I was studying in the township, I humiliated the children of the Xu family several times, and I was a small enemy, do you think that the governor of Xu, who is far away in Liaodong, knows about this?"

Mr. Yao's face immediately became bitter, although he was a businessman, he was cautious. If he went to Liaodong to do business in a wild place, if he didn't have the support of powerful people, how could he dare to take risks?

Originally, when he heard that Xu Zhongcheng, the governor of Liaodong, was the same county as Fang Yingwu, he thought that there might be a chance, but he didn't expect to worship the wrong Bodhisattva

Fang Yingwu was thinking, should I introduce another backer to Mr. Yao? A certain eunuch also had a glorious war history of slashing and killing Jurchen envoys and pretending to be military exploits in Liaodong. (To be continued......)

PS: I thought tomorrow was Chinese New Year's Eve, so I said to stop for two days yesterday, but I didn't expect today to be Chinese New Year's Eve!!! It's equivalent to not resting anything, and the whole person is not good...... The New Year's code word feels really soulless, alas, let's make do with it. In addition, I wish all book friends a happy new year, a happy family, and all the best!
